As
it became impossible to estimate a running in Brussels, further to the
more and more plentiful traffic, we shall put back, from now on, no more fixed
prices for journeys in the city. However, as
information, we can always make you a valuable
evaluation.
On the other hand we continue to establish fixed prices, and for the airport and for the provinces. Our program being very successful we shall give you the most just price according to the street where from you wish the taxi.
Our
computer system accepts your bookings even years before, but
as, contrary, to the other countries, we cannot raise the price of a booking, it is obvious that we cannot give a very
big priority to this service. We cannot mobilize a taxi of hours before,
without paying him, that is why the only priority which we can
give to a reserved journey is that to try to attribute it before
other journeys in the same sector. At certain hours it is
impossible to us to guarantee to you a taxi, that you asked for it weeks
before or that you ask to us for it at the same moment. About is the
formula which you privilege, the " Taxis Bleus " will make the impossible so
that you did not miss your meetings.

The good method
of call of a taxi:
- If you phone us for the 1st time!
- If you have already called up to us during the current month!
To call a taxi form 02/268.00.00 rather with a fixed telephone and with a function posting of your number.

It will cost you cheaper, zonal rate of post fixes to fixed post. (It is not rare that
all our operators are occupied, and that you have to wait)
2. The majority of the telephone numbers of the regular customers are encoded (by our care) in our computer system and we can identify you more easily, without risks of deceiving us.

2.
The STREET (First name and name)
3.
The NUMBER of your house
4.

panel of bell)
If
you have already called up to us during the current month.
- You is have already called us with your fixed telephone and the function posting of call, and we shall identify you by confirming you your name.
- You is give us your number of " Code Customer " (if you know it) in which case we shall also confirm you your name.
- You is call us without number affichable and without code customer then in that case it will be necessary to make as if it was 1st Time.
In
every case do not forget to clarify:
If you wish to make a preliminary booking of a taxi.
If you are accompanied with a pet.
If you have luggage in quantity except standards.
If you want to transport the other thing than the simple luggage (skis, etc.).

- Certain taxis run to the " Rate 2 " in Brussels!
- I have the impressionto have been driven!
- What route to choose, the shortest or the fastest?
Is it normal that to make the same route, I have differences in price?
Yes, it is normal to have differences in price, because below 20 kph. The meter turns in the rate an hour of wait and thus every stop, in front of a red traffic light, for example, increases by so much the price indicated to the taximeter. The traffic jams are another source of valuable fluctuation. The time which you put coming down from your home to embark is the other one.
Is it normal that having reserved my car for the certain hour, it is not there?
Regrettably yes! See bookings.
I phone to ask for a car and we answer me that there are no cars of available before 1 hour.
During the rush hours the demand exceeds the offer and we cannot regrettably, not still, make glance through our taxis above 400.000 cars rushing into our city.
I have a dog which travels with me and the driver refuses it to me.
The drivers are free to charge or not with animals. Thus if you did not prevent this accompanying it is possible that this one does not accept them. The only animals that no driver has the right to refuse are guide dogs.
I
have no ready cash, how may I honor my running?
A lot of means are implemented to accept, practically, all the payment conditions, but here also it is left with the discretion of the driver. If you want to pay whith cash, clarify, during your demand of taxi. Many of them accept the majority of the credit cards. You can also pay in foreign currencies, but a small commission will be asked you. If you are a member of a company customer, you have probably checks " Taxis Bleus " otherwise call our accounting department in 02/264.98.02. If you do not find your happiness with that, we can maybe try the barter 0:).
In every case, before leaving the taxi, you are anxious to release the amount indicated to the taximeter. Even if you dispute the validity. If you dispute the validity: the police regulation authorizes you to make you drive to the closest police station. This movement will be put at the expense of the one who is wrong. It is necessary to know that the non-payment constitutes an act of offence of ordering food or drink in a restaurant and being unable and is liable to penalty by the law.
The
running is 7 € and I have only a 50 € note.
Prevent us during your call, because the taxi drivers, as all other storekeepers moreover, are anxious to have the currency only for the just note over the wanted sum. In this particular case in this example this, he has to have, at least, the currency on a 10€ note. If the driver cannot exchange it to you he can go in a place, the closest possible, of the place where you are to exchange money there. It goes without saying that this movement he has to make it for the meter and for your expenses.
Regrettably the Brussels taxis cannot
park at the airport of " Brussels National ". Never
mind, or whom you are in the world, further to a phone
call we can legally come to resume you, (and on the same conditions).
Leave us only the time to join you. As
regards the airport, we shall need, that in the surroundings, of 10
minutes to reach there. The meeting point is the " Meeting Point Diners Club ".
Where is the meeting place at the airport?
This one is inside, even, of the airport,
in front of glass doors just before the exit. It is the kiosk " OF DINER
CLUB " being under the arrows of "meeting place" and equipped with
seats where you can sit down the time when a driver "
Taxis Bleus " comes to your meeting with a panel to your name.

Where is the meeting
place at the Gare du Midi?
We took for
custom to give meeting to our customers in front of it " SAM'S CAFE ".
This one is in the hall of the station side rue de France in front of the
descent of the escalator of the "THALYS".

Point Gare du Midi

I am in province and I would like to return with a car of the " Taxis Bleus "
It is completely possible to come to look for you wherever whom you are, including abroad.
I need a documentary evidence for the amount of my running.
Every car " Taxis Bleus " possess receipts, either delivered by the printer connected with the meter, or receipts to be filled manually, or and very often 2. Make sure that they are correctly completed. Have to represent, at least, the date the number of taxi, the name and number of the driver, the amount of the running and the signature there. If this documentary evidence is asked you by your mutual insurance company, ask in more to the driver to register it the place of departure and that of the arrival.
It is normal, the
" Taxis Bleus " do not possess taxis, but serve of dispatching. The
issuing company of the receipt is the company possessing the
taxi.
May I choose the
driver who will drive me?
No, regrettably it is not possible to follow up such a demand. Not because we do not want to please our customers, but indeed because the number of drivers is too important (+ of 1.200) and because he would be inconceivable to leave such a choice.
May I choose certain type of car?
Yes, it is possible to ask for certain model of car, it will be followed up according to the availability.
In the taxi
station I perceive a blue taxi but it is far in the
row. May I ask her to take care?
Yes, the law authorizes you to choose your taxi. So far as it was in the row.
We are 5 and we would like to rise all together in the same taxi.
No, will be needed 2 cars. The law and the insurances allow only 4 adults to rise in the same taxi.
We are 4 adults and 1 baby of less than 3 years, do we also have to order 2 taxis?
No, a baby of less than 3 years is not taken into account, on the other hand 2 babies of less than 3 years are considered to occupy the place of an adult.
I
am of release I drank more that of custom, taxis are obliged
to take care of me?
No, from the moment you are in a state of drunkenness, or which the behavior would be considered annoying, the driver can refuse you the access to his taxi.
I have
cases to be moved, may I charge everything in the taxi?
No, the taxi serves as transport of persons and cannot, as a rule, not charge with objects others than those whom you take with and near you, that is: a bag, a small attaché case etc. They have to refuse the introduction of the dangerous objects or the parcel which, by their volume, their nature or their smell, can damage, make dirty, hamper or disturb.
I
would want that a taxi goes to look me for a dish in a restaurant.
For the same reasons as those aforesaid he can refuse.
I bought
chips and I would like to take them with me, even to eat them on
the way.
No, it is forbidden to eat in a taxi, all the more if your meal smells as much as our good Belgian chips.
My
child, me even or my animal produced in the car, the driver demands me 65 €.
Yes, it has the right of it. Other passengers have to embark after you and it is obvious that he can make nobody rise without having to clean and makes disinfect his vehicle by the service of fire brigades. In 65 € there is a price of the cleaning, the disinfection and the loss for the driver.
The
taxi which transported me had an accident, what happens if I am damaged?
It is necessary to know that a driver of taxi crosses(goes through) on average 6 times more kilometres than a common motorist. Of this fact he multiplies, at least, the risks, by 6. As a consequence all the taxis have a compulsory assurance covering the passengers, in civil liability, do not hesitate to bring in it.
I opened
the doorkeeper of the taxi and a car stamped it, am
I responsible?
Yes, the driver will fill an accident reporting with the opponent but the assurance of the taxi can turn around against you. The driver of taxi is entitled to take your identity and that, possible, of your insurance company in domestic civil liability ( Domestic RC).
The law is very clear on this subject, every person, safe with a medical certificate, has to buckle its belt (behind also). The driver when he handles is exempt from it.
I am
a smoker and would like to roast one in the taxi.
No, the law no smoking in a taxi, as well the driver as yourself. The driver who does not handle can smoke in his taxi.
Certain
taxis run to the rate 2 in Brussels, is it normal?
Yes, certain taxis are not a part of the town of Brussels. They recognize easily, thanks to their patch of identification of taxi and to the lamp on the roof of this one, they are smaller and do not wear the blue and yellow colours of the city of Brussels. Them meters are not moreover in the same rate. These have a coverage in 1.86 €, their rate 1 is 0.52 €, their rate 2 is 1.04 € and the hour of wait is 13.88 €/h. Make your calculation, the one in the other one, it returns to the same and in finale you will not more pay dearly.
I have the impression
to have been driven by my taxi, what appeal?
In these cases there ask for a documentary evidence of the running and verify that it is correctly completed. If you phoned us for your taxi, pay the driver, at the need take his patch or its number " Taxis Bleus " resumed on a patch on the windscreen or on the back attic window. Phone to our Sales manager, in 02/264.98.05 which will implementing everything, be sure, to restore the situation. If you did not phone to us and what you are in a blue taxi, follow the same procedure. If on the other hand you are not in a "Taxis Bleus" or what it does not wear mark of advertisement, you will have to address in the service of the Taxis of the region of Brussels-capital the green number 0800/14 795. You can also ask to make you drive to the commissionership of your choice. Attention if the police does not recognize the disadvantages of the driver, it is you who will have to pay this last movement.
For reasons of security and by the fact that the belt is compulsory, (taxis not being equipped with rehausseurs of seats) the children of less than 8 years cannot be any more conveyed than if he are accompanied with at least a teenager of more than 14 years.
What route to choose, the shortest or the fastest?
Unless otherwise specified of the customer, the driver has to drive this one by the fastest way to his place of destination.
